hey, I need your guy's advice. I am currently 100 km from the nearst town and my intercooler boot fell of... the one on top of the motor, it goes from a black tube to the intake. For the life of me I cant get that sucker back on. Any tips or tricks to get it back on?

why wont it go on?? is the clap loosened all the way? if so you can try wd40 on it to try to slip it on

well after alot of cussing and throwing stuff I ended getting the boot back on. I forgot to mention that there is a Roda Deaco valve installed between the tube and the intake which is about 3 inchs in length. Plus I didn't have my tools with me at the time, just the Leatherman. Thanks for the help.

I know alot of people that I talk to don't know what it is. I didn't even know what it was until I started working in the oil and gas sector.

For all of you who don't; it is a safety valve in the intake tube designed to prevent a runaway motor.
